I'm not angry about it, but could the many folks here who have been sending me chain letters, please, stop doing that? You see, I have this horrid affliction and each time I see one the name "Mrs. Y.Y. Flirch of Fishagon, Michigan" repeats in my mind throughout the day. Formally, it's known as Gene-Sheparditis (as in the author for those who have not read the source), and as opposed to gene shepards who are ferret breeders who don't breed carelessly. Steve brought home some peking duck last night and several fuzzies are very jealous, but aren't getting any. The hoisin sauce seems the big attraction. Still catching up so skimming and sending out a letter here and there. Congratulations to everyone whose ferrets have been found or have been well treated for medical problems as is the norm. Sympathies to all who have lost their sweet little loves; we wish we could hug you. Encouragement to everyone who is healing a fuzzie; it's worth the roller coaster. Although we've been crazily busy it feels good to hear good news such as the current approach working well for Ben's lympho. Good luck to California Legalization Efforts. In memory of the recently departed on the list we'll be sending another check your way in May. Dulcena, Merlyn is smart! He gets a warm sleeping place, gets to smell Dad and hear his heart, and best of all his bum gets to smell like Daddy's armpit so he acquires some scent points! Kiss your dulce for us.
